Glenn Greenwald and other NSA critics to testify before Congress

Posted on by

“Congress will hear testimony from critics of the National Security Agency’s surveillance practices for the first time since the whistleblower Edward Snowden’s explosive leaks were made public. Democrat congressman Alan Grayson, who is leading a bipartisan group of congressman organising the hearing, told the Guardian it would serve to counter the ‘constant misleading information’ from the intelligence community. The hearing, which will take place on Wednesday, comes amid evidence of a growing congressional rebellion [on] NSA data collection methods.”

Halliburton pleads guilty to destroying Gulf spill evidence

Posted on by

“Halliburton Co has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence related to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday. The government said Halliburton’s guilty plea is the third by a company over the spill and requires the world’s second-largest oilfield services company to pay a maximum $200,000 statutory fine. Halliburton also agreed to three years of probation and to continue cooperating with the criminal probe into the April 20, 2010, explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. Houston-based Halliburton also made a separate, voluntary $55 million payment to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.”

Attempted Child Porn Set-Ups of Liberty Movement Leaders Continue

Attempted Child Porn Set-Ups of Liberty Movement Leaders Continue

“Someone just attempted to set-up Stewart Rhodes (founder of Oath Keepers) & Dan Johnson (founder of People Against the N.D.A.A) by sending child porn to Dan Johnson’s email from a tormail.org anonymous email account, pretending to be Stewart. [Earlier,] someone claiming to be a whistle-blower emailed activist Luke Rudkowski saying he had some incriminating pictures of Bilderberg elites, which Luke was able to see with his ‘view’ function and determine were actually child porn without opening them. He was contacted by the hackers who bragged that they were going to do the same thing to other alternative media activist leaders.”

Chris Christie’s Attack on the Civil-Liberties Wing of the GOP

Posted on by

“Now it seems clear that Christie will adopt the neoconservative line on national security, embracing the most radical actions of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Speaking at the Aspen Institute on Thursday, Christie belittled the libertarian wing of his party for its take on NSA spying. ‘As a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on Sept. 10, 2001, I just want us to be really cautious, because this strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought,’ he said.”

Which State Is Headed in the Wrong Direction at the Fastest Rate?

Posted on by

“I was very interested in the data showing that most European nations actually increased the size of government in recent years – notwithstanding all the hyperbole about ‘savage’ and ‘draconian’ austerity. That’s why the ‘exceptions to the rule’ in Europe – such as Estonia and Germany – are so noteworthy. While their neighbors are doing the wrong thing, these countries are being at least semi-responsible and trying to rein in the burden of government spending. The same thing is true for state governments, which is why this new map from the Tax Foundation is worth sharing. It shows how fast spending has increased in each state over the past 10 years.”

The Relentless Market for “Saturday Night Specials”

Posted on by

“The phrase ‘Saturday night special’ used to be applied to cheap handguns available to gangs. These days, the gangs have Uzis. But I am sure that low-budget criminals still buy Saturday night specials. About 30 years ago, I applied the phrase to describe the microcomputer. I said that this would shift power away from the federal government. It would provide the common man with a tool of resistance. The American government worries about its lack of gun control: the decentralization of power. But that is nothing when compared to the threat of Android.”
